Question

The price of a lamp is $18.50 the  sale tax is 4%. Which is the total of price including sales tax?

Answer 1

Ok, we need find first the sale tax and next we are going to add this to the price of the lamp, so let's do it.

The sale tax is 4% of the price of the lamp, so we are going to calculate it:

`(18.50)/(100)\cdot4=0.74`

Adding this we get:

`0.74+18.5=19.24`

The total price including sales tax is $19.24.
